Post Apocalyptic Ford Capri. Mad Max IV on a budget?

[akku]

I saw this. Its not my thing. Its obviously part of a trend I guess. Its not for the shy and retiring types

[grizz]

I actually like this sort of madness.

However, I am possibly about to be flamed, by the same gang who tell me, I need roll-bars with 34 triangulations, and 101 other random things like number plate spacing, no LED headlights, bigger this, smaller that and a set of pink,whatevers.

When I look at all of these greatly expressive builds, my concern lies with the 12 year old who gets mangled by a huge, bull-bar, has an arm ripped off by a side mounted Gattling gun.

The list goes on and on, inside the cab too.

MOT advisories.

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
rear seats removed at time of test
non standard wheels fitted
non standard exhaust fitted
body work heavily modified

Yet, policing of chewing gum, number plates and possibly yellow headlights, etc goes on and on.

Lets look at Top Gear, another fun programme.

Qualified or licensed to drive those massive rigs, yes, experienced, professional drivers? Nope.

Yet they sit talking on walkie talkies (CB Radio if you want) every week while mobile phones etc get prosecuted.

Just random thoughts tonight.

I need a drink.


And to reiterate, I love these things, the more bonkers, the better.

One test for these cars

See fuel gathering around 2:36



Will they run on that post-apocalyptic mixture of sand, mud and low test gas?

[Mercdan68]

Nope ……move on

[mrbounce]

I appreciate the work but it is not for me.

[akku]

Exhibit B....

Clever paint job, but I keep seeing the words "dirty protest"...

[bmcnut]

When it's done properly to the right car, I get it. There's a certain amount of skill required to make something look genuinely knackered and Apocalyptic.
